Your gift helps families live a life free from blindness. By working with local partners to teach and train eye teams, we improve access to quality eye care in communities around the world.
This means little girls like Marla (below) can get the care they desperately need.
But we can't do it without your support.
And now we're able to accept tax-deductible crypto donations.
Marla received surgery from an Orbis trained eye doctor in Mongolia
Globally, there are 43 million people who are blind and a further 295 million living with moderate-to-severe visual impairment. Out of these, a huge 77% is completely preventable or treatable.
This means there are 33 million people who are blind and 227 million whose lives are severely affected by their vision - needlessly.
With your support, we will not only give people their sight back today, but help build a lasting eye care legacy that will ensure no one goes needlessly blind tomorrow.
Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning our supporters will not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax efficient ways to support Orbis. Learn more about how donating crypto can lower your taxes here.
We accept the following cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Zcash (ZEC), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Chainlink (LINK), 0x (ZRX), Storj (STORJ), Dai (DAI), Amp (AMP), The Graph (GRT), UMA (UMA), 1inch (1INCH).
Here's proof of our supporters' generosity. With your help, we can continue to improve access to quality eye care around the world.
At Orbis, we work hard to ensure your gifts are used as effectively as possible. That’s why 92 cents of every dollar we spend goes directly to increasing quality eye care and saving vision in the countries where we work.
